The subject cover material for the new WW2 book by David J.B. Smith has been finalised by the books author and the artist Gordon Frickers. http://www.frickers.co.uk/blog/While Gordon went to get the beers in I took the opportunity to take a photograph of his preliminary sketch. Can you guess what it is yet?

Gordon has now sailed back to his studio in France and will start work on the painting very soon. For my next book I wanted a cover which tells a story and this one certainly will. A cover is what ultimately sells a book. It has been said 99% of people pick up a book or click on the very small image on Amazon because of a great book cover. This then gives the book contents the chance to really sell it’s self.

I will keep updating the progress of the book cover on this blog and let you know how the new book is progressing. It’s all very exciting and hopefully I can replicate the success of ‘Being Silent They Speak’.Yours AyeDavid J.B. Smith
